Yep here are a few of my fav books. George Orwell pretty much is my fav author at the moment.
1984: George Orwell
Animal Farm: George Orwell
To Kill A Mockingbird: Harper Lee
Any Rould Dahl books
Like Water For Chocolate
Alice's Adventure's in Wonderland: Lewis Carroll (I'm serious)
As for American Psycho well I've always wanted to read it cause I have it at home and all that, but my Mum locked it up after she tried to read it a few years ago. Apparently it made her feel that sick when she read it that she decided that I wasn't allowed to read it. Now I've seen the movie it's time I read it.
Anyway I'll be back later with more books.
